- Ray Barone: They've been Iying to us our whole lives. Every time they ever tried to make us feeI good about ourselves.
- Robert Barone: When did that happen to me?
- Marie Barone: Honey, I'm sure we lied to you plenty of times.
- Ray Barone: You got to get your own place, man.
- Marie Barone: Don't be silly. We love having you here.
- Robert Barone: Oh, my God!
- Ray Barone: Ray, we told you, you were a good writer so that you would think you were a good writer, see? Then somebody gave you a job. That's what parents do. They all lie to their kids for their own good.
- Ray Barone: Other parents aren't Iying, Ma. They believe in their children.
- Marie Barone: No, they don't.
- Ray Barone: What about my Steinbrenner joke?
- Marie Barone: That wasn't funny. It's not nice to make fun of people.
- Ray Barone: Well what about this?
- Robert Barone: Well *this* is funny.
- Ray Barone: They say that because the pros can hit it so far that they should lengthen the length of all the courses, and you know, I know I'm probably droning on here but what about tradition? There's always tradition and history and stuff, and I know I support the changes in baseball, but look, let me ax, ask you something here. Sports sometimes should adopt, adapt adapt and grow, but aren't there times that a sport shouldn't adopt, adapt and not grow. Probably not grow.
